| Tiivistelmä: | This paper addresses the problem of durable goods manufacturers in an oligopoly seeking optimal values for three decision variables: product warranty, reliability and price. Each firm seeks a warranty-reliability-price combination that maximizes expected profit subject to quite general constraints on the firm's decision variables. Warranty serves as a signal of product reliability, which is not observable by consumers. The author presents a game-theorwtic model of warranty-reliability-price competition in such a market and examine Nash equilibria for this game. |
